Ramsay Traquair (architect)

He then joined the office of John More Dick Peddie and George Washington Browne, also giving occasional assistance to Robert Lorimer, all providing him an excellent architectural pedigree.

He was employed by the Turkish government to study and record the lesser Byzantine churches of the Constantinople area, working with Professor Alexander van Millingen.

In 1909 Gerard Baldwin Brown proposed Traquair as successor to Percy Erskine Nobbs at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.

His final years in Edinburgh were spent at 4 Forres Street, a huge Georgian House on the Moray Estate.

In 1912 he worked on an unexecuted scheme to complete the National Monument on Calton Hill with Sir Frank Mears.
